I don't think you can go to too far wrong dining at any of the aforementioned restaurants. We have dined at each numerous times and, by and large, have been happy. Here are my TR notes for our last dining experience at each.
Silverado Steakhouse (South Point)
10/11 For entrees Ann ordered the 8-ounce filet while I went cowboy style by ordering the 16-ounce prime rib. Both entrees were perfectly cooked to medium rare as requested and included a baked potato with all the fixings. My prime rib, served with au jus and a horseradish sauce, turned out to be a mammoth slab of beef with most of the outer ring of fat and near fat removed. I only wish our dog Max had been with us because it took a Herculean effort for me to finish it alone. Dessert was out of the question. ($10, 2/1 locals coupon, points, 3.5 Forks)
Primarily Prime Rib (South Point)
03/11 Since we hadn’t had prime rib in ages, we each ordered the South Point cut done medium rare with me opting for blackened Cajun style. Our dinners included a house salad tossed tableside, a bread basket and a choice of potato (mashed for me, baker for Ann) or rice pilaf. The prime rib was smaller than at Carve (Eastside Cannery) , but pretty good. ($5, LVA, Points, 3 Forks)
Note: the funbooks you will receive at check-in include a free dessert coupon. Also, $2 tequila drinks are served Wed-Sun during the happy hour at Miguel's Tequila Bar located immediately outside the entrance to Primarily Prime Rib. The one downside is the drinks are served in plastic cups.
Twin Creeks Steakhouse (Silverton)
10/11 After 8PM on Tue-Sat in October, all drinks plus the entire tapas menu were being discounted by 75%. Do I hear a Hallelujah? I ordered a mojito (3 Sips) while Ann wisely chose the Espresso martini (espresso vanilla vodka, coffee liquor, Irish liquor and a shot of espresso) (4.5 Sips). Each of these drinks cost a mere $2.50. Give me another Hallelujah and a 2nd round of drinks!
Our first order of tapas included stuffed mushrooms (chorizo, chicken and parmesan cheese) (3 Forks) and bacon wrapped dates (3.5 Forks). Service was extremely slow so our waitress, cum bartender, Michelle gave us a complimentary order of bacon wrapped shrimp with an adobo BBQ sauce as an apology. (3.5 Forks)
For the second round, Ann ordered a glass of Chardonnay while I went with a Zombie martini (light and dark rum, coconut rum, Bacardi 151, OJ and pineapple juice). (4.5 Sips) Our last tapas order included piquillo peppers stuffed with garlic cream cheese (4.5 Forks) and red potatoes in a spicy aioli sauce (3.5 Forks). Our bill was $61, reduced to $15.36 with the happy hour discount which was covered by Ann’s points. ($10, 4 Forks) One last halleluha!
Note: the 75% late night Happy Hour was discontinued as of November 1st, but a 50% discount is being offered Tue-Sat from 5-8PM.
For a casual meal at the South Point, don't overlook the Del Mar Deli:
Corned beef sandwich
Napoleon
Lastly, make sure you hit the Friday night happy hour at any of their bars when all drinks at just $2.
